CISF Lady Staff Strip Search 25-week Pregnant Woman to Confirm Pregnancy
Kolkata : In a shocking incident, a pregnant woman was allegedly "strip-searched" at Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati after CISF lady staff wanted to verify her pregnancy.
The incident, which took place on June 24, has come to light now. The pregnant woman was returning to Delhi from Guwahati with her husband after attending the last rituals of her father in Guwahati.
According to the reports, the couple Shivam Sarmah and Doli Goswami, who live in Delhi, came to Guwahati on June 12 after Doli Goswami's father passed away on June 11.
After attending last rituals, the couple had travelled from Guwahati to Delhi by SpiceJet flight SG-169 on June 24.
What's more shocking is that instead of getting a medical professional to examine her pregnancy, a lady CISF staff manually examined the pregnant woman by pushing her abdomen. Doli Goswami presently 25 weeks pregnant.
According to the reports, Shivam Sarmah, husband of Doli Goswami, had requested the SpiceJet staff to arrange a wheelchair for his wife but the CISF staff did not hand them over their boarding passes and asked the pregnant woman to show proof of her pregnancy.
"The lady CISF staff asked my wife to accompany her to a room and forced her to undress. The CISF lady staff also pushed my wife's abdomen to check pregnancy," Shivam Sarmah took to twitter to express his anguish.
CISF has taken the matter seriously after the tweet and has initiated an enquiry into the matter.

Young woman from MP who shot to fame during Kumbh found to be minor, case registered against husband
Khargone (MP) (PTI): The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes on Friday confirmed that a young woman from Madhya Pradesh who became famous due to her viral videos during the 2025 Maha Kumbh has been found to be a minor after an inquiry.
Citing the findings of an inquiry panel set up by the commission, local BJP leaders alleged that her interfaith marriage in Kerala last month was a case of "love Jihad", and sought legal action.
While the panel had submitted its report in March, ST commission chairman Antar Singh Arya confirmed its findings to the PTI on Friday.
A case for alleged kidnapping and offences under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has already been registered against her husband, a Muslim man, at Maheshwar on the basis of the inquiry findings, police said.
The girl gained national fame after her videos while selling garlands and rudraksha at the Maha Kumbh went viral on social media and also earned her a role in a film.
The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes set up an inquiry panel after receiving a complaint on March 17 from Pratham Dubey, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, that she was a minor and was being exploited.
Maheshwar BJP MLA Rajkumar Mev and BJP mandal president Vikram Patel, armed with documents, told reporters on Friday that her marriage in Kerala was a case of "love Jihad" and she should be brought back home.
'Love jihad' is a term used by right-wing groups to allege a conspiracy by Muslim men to lure Hindu women into marriage to convert them to Islam.
Police said an investigation is underway, and further action would be taken accordingly.
The girl, who belongs to the nomadic Pardhi community, got married at a temple in Kerala in March. The interfaith marriage drew angry reactions from rightwing Hindu groups.
Her family members and film director Sanoj Mishra -- who had offered her a film role after she became famous -- too alleged that it was 'love Jihad'.
As per the inquiry conducted by the ST commission, records at the Maheshwar government hospital showed the woman's date of birth as December 30, 2009 which meant she was 16 years and two months old at the time of marriage, said Dubey, the complainant.
On a complaint filed by her father, police registered a case against the girl's husband at Maheshwar police station on March 25 for alleged kidnapping and under the POCSO Act and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Police sources said that a separate case was also registered on March 24 under section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (taking a minor from lawful custody of guardian without their consent) based on the the commission's findings.
